Problem:
A good list of janya raagas is compiled on Wikipedia. It has over 950 entries. I use it frequently to recognize and understand a raaga or to relate it to its Janaka Raaga. But, I need to spend a lot of time to find the raaga on the list.
Diagnosis:
An index of raagas to their melakarta raagas is needed.
Solution:
Used WatinN, a simple yet powerful open source web testing tool. Wrote a program to load the raagas from the janya raaga list and then produced the indexed list. Further, the melakarta raagas are in bold to recognize them upfront.
Result:
Download the quick index of raagas. Feel free to take a print out and take it your next carnatic concert along with a print out of the janya raaga list to quickly find related raagas or to lookup the ascending and descending scales.
Source Code:
If you are interested in source of WatinN Script written to convert the raaga list, you can download the solution.
